Particularly since the 1970s, much attention has been paid to Louisa MayAlcott's writing for adult readers: her thrillers, her novels (Moodsand Work), and her sketches and essays, among other works. For Volume34 of _Children's Literature_, the Children's Literature Associationannual published by Johns Hopkins University Press, we propose toredirect critical, scholarly attention to Alcott's work for youngerreaders. Essays might focus on the March family trilogy (Little Women,Little Men, Jo's Boys), on Alcott's other novels for juvenile readers(including An Old-Fashioned Girl, Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom, Underthe Lilacs, and Jack and Jill), on Alcott's publications in the serialmagazines of her era and/or her relationship with the editors of thosemagazines (for instance, Mary Mapes Dodge and St. Nicholas), or on theshort stories and sketches she published in the series of volumes knowas "Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag."
